Problem:

Compiling a SQL application as follows :

cob -V myapp.cbl -C anim "P(COBSQL) MAKESYN CSQLT=ORACLE DEB end-c DECLARE_SECTION=YES COMP5=NO VARCHAR=YES p(cp) endp endp"

the following error is returned:

    28     EXEC SQL INCLUDE SQLCA END-EXEC.

* 149-S********

**    No SQL directives have been set

Resolution:

There are two issues here:

1. The Cobsql precompiler ships in lower case on UNIX.

2. Cob will manipulate options delimited with "=" characters, as documented within the Server Express User's Guide, Chapter 9, within the section entitled "Specifying cob Options".

To resolve these issues :

1. Specify Cobsql in lower case

2. Delimit the Cobsql and Pro*COBOL options with ==, rather than =

Therefore, the correct command line to use is :

cob -V myapp.cbl -C anim "P(cobsql) MAKESYN CSQLT==ORACLE DEB end-c DECLARE_SECTION==YES COMP5==NO VARCHAR==YES p(cp) endp endp"
